Understand the Transport Orders
The Transport Orders combine one or more business process document lines for one or more transport orders. The transport orders can be inbound or outbound orders. You can use specific rules and allot permissions to create transport orders per location. The ability to create rules and permissions provides great flexibility to organizations having different shipping rules for different locations.
Typically, a transport order has the following sections:
- Transport Order Header: This section contains all generic information to be used for the transport order.
- Transport Order Line: This section contains the order information per package type.
Transport orders can be created by using the STAEDEAN Lifecycles. Using these lifecycles, you can create a transport order and link business process document lines to the orders. Transport Order Management supports the following documents.
- For Inbound:
- Inventory Put-away
- Warehouse Put-away
- For Outbound:
- Inventory Pick
- Warehouse Pick
